Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1658 - 1695: Resistance

The howling Yuan Beasts ceaselessly charged at Guo Linn and Ah Du. At this moment, Guo Linn was still casting the Flame Spell, which was currently quite effective against these Yuan Beasts. However, the sheer number of these Yuan Beasts was overwhelming to the point where Guo Linn could see no end in sight. After a while, Guo Linn could already feel that the True Qi within him was somewhat depleted.

Although Guo Linn could deploy the Flame Spell, the flames were still transformed by his True Qi and were not inexhaustible. Obviously, once his True Qi was exhausted, the flames would naturally vanish, and any other transformations would cease as well.

Even though the number of Yuan Beasts burned to death by Guo Linn was uncountable, the Yuan Beasts kept coming in endless waves. In the end, Guo Linn was merely a cultivator and not a machine. At this point, he clearly felt that his True Qi was insufficient.

Though he had some Medicine Pills to replenish True Qi on his person, he did not have many, and they could not be used indiscriminately. They were reserved for life-threatening situations.

"Take a break, I’ll take over!"

At this moment, Ah Du naturally noticed that Guo Linn’s condition was not good and couldn’t help saying this to him. Immediately, Ah Du stood in front of Guo Linn and wielded a longsword in his hand. With each slash of the sword, a Yuan Beast was cleaved in two. Although the number of Yuan Beasts was exceedingly large, Ah Du’s sword speed was incredibly fast.

Moreover, Ah Du had already mastered the "Sword Drawing Technique" to the Third Sword Technique level. Therefore, his sword strikes were not only extremely fast, but each stroke followed the last without pause. Since these Yuan Beasts were mostly Four Star or Five Star, with some even being Three Star, Ah Du could effortlessly slaughter a Yuan Beast with just a Sword Beam.

At this moment, Ah Du stood in front of Guo Linn, holding his longsword and blocking all the Yuan Beasts’ charges. As for the smaller Yuan Beasts on the ground, Ah Du dared not take them lightly either; he didn’t wait for these little Yuan Beasts to close in and quickly dispatched them with a few Sword Beams.

Obviously, dealing with such Yuan Beasts posed no great difficulty for Ah Du. After all, he had already honed the "Sword Drawing Technique" to the Third Sword Technique level. With this level, not only were Yuan Beasts of this rank manageable, even a cultivator in the Spirit Severing Initial Stage could be slain by Ah Du. After all, his cultivation had already broken through to the Spirit Severing Initial Stage.

Ah Du believed that with the "Sword Drawing Technique," he could even contend with a cultivator in the middle of the Spirit Severing stage. After all, the "Sword Drawing Technique" was no ordinary martial art, and Ah Du had great confidence in himself. Although the difference in cultivation between the Spirit Severing stage and the Emergence stage was only a matter of rank, the disparity was immense. Not something ordinary cultivators could contend with.

Thus, facing the overwhelming number of Yuan Beasts in front of him, Ah Du wasn’t overly worried. He believed he could definitely slay these Yuan Beasts, but he also didn’t dare to be careless. Though the strength of these Yuan Beasts was not particularly formidable, and killing them didn’t require much effort, the sheer number of them couldn’t be ignored. Moreover, there was already a large number of Yuan Beasts slain by Guo Linn’s flames in the passageway. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Corpses littered the ground of the passageway, yet a large number of Yuan Beasts still charged towards the two of them. Clearly, this wasn’t a good situation, and it was impossible to determine how many Yuan Beasts were outside. Hence, Ah Du had to cautiously wield his swordsmanship and conserve his strength and True Qi.

Previously, Guo Linn had made the mistake of using his True Qi without regard for the consequences. Though it resulted in considerable achievements in killing numerous Yuan Beasts, his True Qi was also rapidly depleted. In no time, his True Qi was almost exhausted.

Yet, the Yuan Beasts outside showed no sign of retreating at all. Ah Du knew that the Yuan Beasts outside didn’t seem to fear death. Even though Guo Linn and he had slain many, the Yuan Beasts rushing in were still a death sentence. Yet, countless Yuan Beasts still charged forward.

It seemed these Yuan Beasts weren’t afraid of death, or perhaps there was even greater danger outside that forced them to choose to dash into the cave where they were.

At this moment, Ah Du felt grateful that he had heeded Ding Fan’s words earlier and had not rushed out recklessly. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire, and even if he survived, he would be gravely injured. After all, facing so many Yuan Beasts outside alone would be overwhelming.

After all, the open space outside was very suitable for the Yuan Beasts and very disadvantageous for him. Unlike now, where the space was quite narrow, many Yuan Beasts couldn’t even execute their attacks. This was highly favorable for both him and Guo Linn. Furthermore, there was an array arranged by Ding Fan here. Even if he and Guo Linn couldn’t withstand these Yuan Beasts,

Ding Fan’s High Level Defensive Formation could keep the Yuan Beasts at bay for a considerable time. Moreover, he wasn’t alone here; Guo Linn was present too. Although Guo Linn’s strength couldn’t match his, dealing with these Yuan Beasts was still more than manageable for him.

In an instant, Ah Du swung his flying sword, cutting down the Yuan Beasts that charged at them. Blood splattered everywhere, and one by one, the Yuan Beasts fell to the ground. At this point, Ah Du was conserving his energy, mainly resolving each Yuan Beast with a single slash. The slash didn’t sever them in half; rather, it targeted the Yuan Beasts’ vital points, eliminating them in one stroke. This was a clever strategy to kill the most Yuan Beasts with minimal effort.

At this moment, Ding Fan in the Sword Washing Pool was still continuously searching for the Formation’s Critical Point. Meanwhile, Ding Fan had already noticed the violent shaking beneath his feet and could tell it was coming from the passage. Ding Fan knew that something seemed to be happening with Guo Linn and Ah Du on their side.

However, Ding Fan did not hear any cries for help from Guo Linn and Ah Du. Ding Fan knew that it seemed like Guo Linn and Ah Du could still handle the situation, which made Ding Fan more urgent in finding the critical point of the formation. Yet, a lot of time had already passed, and Ding Fan had scoured two-thirds of the Sword Washing Pool but still had no idea where the formation’s critical point was, which naturally made Ding Fan a bit anxious.

The anxiety in Ding Fan’s heart was quickly suppressed by Ding Fan himself. He knew he couldn’t afford to act rashly at this moment; he had to remain calm and detailed to quickly locate the critical point of the formation. After all, there had already been occurrences on Guo Linn and Ah Du’s side, and obviously, if he couldn’t find this formation’s critical point, even bigger dangers might arise.

Furthermore, Guo Linn and Ah Du might not necessarily be able to hold on, and Ding Fan had no idea what the situation was outside. This was the most deadly thing for Ding Fan. Ding Fan knew that to completely end this crisis, they must first understand what exactly was happening outside the cave. Only then could they know how to deal with this crisis.

But up to now, Ding Fan had spent a long time looking for the critical point of the formation that was suppressing the Divine Sense but still hadn’t found it. How could Ding Fan not be anxious? Even as Ding Fan tried his best to suppress the panic in his heart, he still became somewhat flustered. But when Ding Fan reached a corner,

Ding Fan’s Divine Sense suddenly sensed the presence of something, filling his heart with excitement.

Indeed, as the saying goes, Heaven rewards the diligent. The item that Ding Fan’s Divine Sense sensed was indeed the location of the critical point of the formation suppressing the Divine Sense. Ding Fan was very excited and couldn’t help but take out his Flying Sword and repeatedly attack the area his Divine Sense pointed to. Immediately, a glowing beam appeared in front of Ding Fan.

Boom boom boom...

Without hesitation, Ding Fan swung his Flying Sword to attack the light pillar, but after a round of assaults, the beam only flickered with a few glows and showed no signs of breaking, which left Ding Fan troubled once more. Ding Fan now faced a new problem: figuring out how to destroy this critical point.

However, no matter how Ding Fan attacked this light pillar afterward, he was unable to destroy it. Ding Fan was deeply troubled and confused, knowing that the formation suppressing the Divine Sense was passed down from ancient times, and despite its nearly ten-thousand-year history, the formation remained very sturdy. The possibility of forcibly breaking this critical point seemed unlikely.

After pondering, Ding Fan decided to take out some Spirit Stones used for setting formations and began arranging an Explosive Array near this critical point. Ding Fan believed that even though he couldn’t directly breach this critical point, setting up an Explosive Array would certainly shatter it.

Immediately, Ding Fan set out to arrange the Explosive Array. He didn’t just set up one; since he had a limited number of Spirit Stones for array formation at his disposal, Ding Fan couldn’t afford too many failures. So he planned to set up several Explosive Arrays mixed together, aiming for a one-time success.

...

Meanwhile, at the passage of the cave, countless Yuan Beast corpses lay in front of Ah Du, clogging up more than two-thirds of the entire passage. Ah Du, wielding a Longsword, managed to kill two to three Yuan Beasts with a few swings each time.

But Ah Du’s True Qi wasn’t very abundant either. Luckily, Guo Linn had rested sufficiently and, after recovering, directly unleashed Cold Qi to freeze the towering pile of corpses in front. The temperature in the passage dropped considerably.

In no time, the passage in front of Guo Linn and Ah Du had been frozen, embedding large amounts of Yuan Beast blood in ice and thoroughly sealing the passage. Yet the Yuan Beasts continued charging in from the other end but soon became frozen too, completely clogging the passage.

Guo Linn and Ah Du finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the passage was blocked, limiting airflow, this was the only possible solution since too many Yuan Beasts were charging in. Even as Spirit Severing Initial Stage cultivators, Guo Linn and Ah Du wouldn’t have been able to withstand the assault without this method.

Seeing this, Ah Du sat on the ground, clearly exhausted from slaying Yuan Beasts and with little True Qi left in his body, needing to recover quickly. Guo Linn, on the other hand, kept watch, as the sounds of Yuan Beasts pounding on the ice still echoed in the cave.

Meanwhile, there were also sounds of breaking ice, but Guo Linn, having grown quite wise, would wait until the Yuan Beasts had moved closer before releasing Cold Qi again to quickly freeze them once more.
